Ye Yang reached out to the boss next door and said, "Give me the keys to Yu Xuelin's house! You don't need to worry about the rest."

"This..." The boss next door hesitated for a long time, not moving to take out the keys.

Ye Yang followed up with a sentence, "Can you beat me?"

That boss shuddered violently, gritted his teeth, and handed the keys to Ye Yang, "Master Ye, this matter..."

"You can say I robbed them." Ye Yang took the keys, opened the door of the Feng Shui residence, and walked straight in.

After Feng Ruoxing closed the door, Ye Yang said, "Yu Xuelin is probably dead. What's outside is a ming biao (obvious mark)."

What the Thief Sect values is ming biao and an ji (hidden mark).

More than 90% of the time, disciples of the Thief Sect will choose an ji. Usually, disciples of the Thief Sect choose to use an ji in order to better conceal their identities.

Only in very special circumstances will they choose ming biao, such as Thief Sect gatherings. At that time, masters of the Thief Sect gather, and they are not afraid of being discovered. Ming biao is to show the status of the Thief Sect.

Another possibility is that the Thief Sect disciple encounters a life-threatening situation and is trying to ask for help from his comrades, or is creating an opportunity for himself to escape. Only then will they throw out the mark blatantly.

Ye Yang's eyes scanned the Feng Shui residence, "Don't move around yet, I'll see if there are any other marks left by Yu Xuelin here."

When Feng Ruoxing pulled Chen Xiaobao aside, Chen Xiaobao tugged at the corner of Feng Ruoxing's clothes again, while his other hand was desperately pointing at the ground.

When Feng Ruoxing looked in the direction of Chen Xiaobao's finger, he saw a corner of a Luo Pan (geomantic compass) peeking out from under the table by the wall. It seemed that the compass had fallen under the table, revealing only that corner.

The Luo Pan is an indispensable magical artifact for Feng Shui practitioners. Every Feng Shui practitioner attaches great importance to their Luo Pan and will not easily allow others to touch it. Even if it is broken, they will wrap it in red cloth and store it properly, and will never throw it on the ground.

Out of curiosity, Feng Ruoxing walked over, squatted down, and picked up the compass. As soon as she picked up the compass, Feng Ruoxing saw that it was only a quarter of the compass.

Feng Ruoxing was immediately shocked – what she had just seen was not a corner of the compass, but someone had deliberately chopped the compass into four pieces and placed one of them under the table.

This is a trap!

Just as Feng Ruoxing reacted, a faint smell of blood drilled into her nostrils. Feng Ruoxing just turned her head slightly, and in the corner of her eye, she saw a hand attached to the bottom of the table.

Feng Ruoxing's first reaction was to draw her sword, but the hand didn't react in any way from beginning to end.

It wasn't until Feng Ruoxing overturned the table with her sword that she saw the whole picture of the hand. It was clear that the hand had been chopped off according to the length of the table and then taped to the bottom of the table.

From the fingertip to the cut, it was exactly the same length as the table, with no extra part.

Feng Ruoxing poked the severed hand a few times with her short sword, "This hand has been cut off for quite some time. If I hadn't gotten close to the table, I wouldn't have smelled the scent of the severed hand. Is this Yu Xuelin's hand?"

Ye Yang used his sword to pick up a finger, "No! The hands of the Thief Sect members are not too big, and the fingers are relatively slender. This hand belongs to someone else. This Luo Pan is deliberately guiding us to look at this hand."

No matter which path a master of the Thief Sect takes, they cannot avoid putting their hands into relatively narrow places to take things. Thick palms and thick fingers are not suitable for doing this kind of business. Ye Yang could tell at a glance that the hand did not belong to a disciple of the Thief Sect.

"Search again!" Ye Yang's divine eyes flickered slightly, and he walked to the bookshelf by the wall in a few steps. He held the handle of the bookshelf drawer and slowly pulled it back. Another severed hand appeared in the drawer, and the length of the arm was exactly the same as the length of the drawer.

Ye Yang quickly removed the books in the bookshelf, pointed to the knife marks on the shelf of the bookshelf, and said, "Look here."

Feng Ruoxing drew out her dagger and compared it, "At that time, someone was standing in your position, and stabbed through the shelf of the bookshelf with a knife from here, pinning this hand in the drawer."

"This position... that person should have pulled the drawer open halfway before making the cut, in order to accurately cut off the arm. That person knew long ago that a hand would reach out from the drawer."

Ye Yang raised his head and said, "It seems that there are quite a few places in this Feng Shui residence where hands can reach out!"

Feng Ruoxing's expression changed slightly, "Should we go upstairs and take a look?"

"No need!" Ye Yang shook his head slightly and added, "At least we can't go up now! Let's talk about it at night."

Ye Yang sat in the Feng Shui residence for nearly four hours. The sky outside had already darkened. Feng Ruoxing lit a white candle on the table before unblocking Chen Xiaobao's acupoints.

Feng Ruoxing was afraid that Chen Xiaobao would really become mute. Unexpectedly, the first thing he said was, "Being with you guys is really frustrating! Are you sorcerers? Do you have any skills? Do you just know how to be beaten passively? You're already in the Feng Shui residence, and you're still sitting here. Are you all idiots! Do you just know how to be beaten?"

"Do you know what it means to take the initiative? Even if you blow up the building, it's better than sitting here waiting to die!"
